Low Testosterone: Excess weight can increase your aromatase enzyme which can result in decreased testosterone. You need to decrease your stress (meditation, massage, yoga), moderate exercise and resistance training with weight. I would suggest you see a Urologist to see why your level us so low. Nutrition: avoid sugar and processed foods.
